• the polyoxyalkylene glycols employed for this invention have molecular weights less than 2000 with recurring alkylene groups containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms. While polyethylene glycols having average molecular weights from about 200 to 1500 are most commonly used, polypropylene glycols and poly(ethylenepropylene) glycols can also be employed. It is possible to employ polyoxyethylene glycols containing higher or lower molecular weight materials and a broad molecular weight distribution of the polyoxyethylene glycol is not generally detrimental to the lubricant properties, however, appreciable amounts of glycols having molecular weights greater than 1500 should not be present if optimum results are to be obtained. Best results are obtained with polyoxyethylene glycols having average molecular weights between about 400 and 1000 and glycols of this type are also commercially available.
• High molecular weight dibasic acids used in the preparation of the mixed ester compositions of this invention can be aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon acids containing 18 or more carbon atoms.

• Dicarboxylic acids used in the modification of the triglycerides can be obtained from any one of several processes known to the industry.
• the dicarboxylic acids may be obtained by the oxidation of hydrocarbons for example, by ozonolysis of ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated hydrocarbons or other di- or multiolefinic materials or they may be obtained from the catalytic oxidation of saturated and/or unsaturated hydrocarbons.

• Useful dicarboxylic acids can also be obtained by the addition of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid to a monobasic acid containing conjugated unsaturation (e.g. linoleic acid). When linoleic acid (9,11-octadecadienoic acid) and acrylic acid are reacted a dibasic acid of the formula ##STR1## is obtained.
• dicarboxylic acids utilized in this invention is the polymerization (dimerization) of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids containing from 6 to 26 carbon atoms, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, ricinoleic acid, linolenic acid and eleostearic acid.
• Dicarboxylic acids produced in this manner i.e. when two moles of the unsaturated monocarboxylic acid are combined, are referred to as dimer acids.

• the transesterification reaction is conducted in accordance with known procedures. While useful products can be obtained by step-wise reaction, the process is more usually and advantageously conducted in a single step. It is customary to charge all the reactants to the reaction vessel and then heat the reaction mixture at a temperature from about 100° C to 300° C but more usually between about 175° C and 275° C. The reaction is maintained at an elevated temperature until the acid value of the initial charge is reduced by at least 25% and, more preferably, reduced 50% or more. To facilitate reaction, water formed during the transesterification is removed using a suitable condenser/trap arrangement. While the use of reduced pressure is not necessary it may be advantageous, especially in the latter stages of the reaction, to pull a vacuum on the system if low acid value products are desired.
• Catalysts are not essential, however, they are usually desirable to speed the rate of reaction.
• the amount and type of catalyst can be widely varied and any of the known catalysts such as tetrabutyl titanate, zinc acetate, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, stannous oxalate, p-toluene sulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and the like may be used.

Because of their ready compatibility with water and non-staining characteristics they find particular utility in metal working operations involving non-ferrous metals where in addition to lubrication a high degree of cooling is desired and staining is an ever present problem.
• Aqueous lubricant systems including dispersions and emulsions, containing the modified triglycerides are useful in forging, rolling, casting, cutting, grinding, stamping, extruding, drawing and other metal working operations.
• the aqueous lubricants are capable of providing a high degree of cooling while also providing a continuous uniform lubricant film on the surface of the metal or between the working parts and the metal.

• Aluminum and aluminum alloys containing copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc, lithium, beryllium, and the like derive particular benefit from the modified triglycerides of this invention. It has quite unexpectedly been found that by the use of the modified triglycerides it is possible to minimize and in many cases completely eliminate the formation of undesirable lubricant stains on the surface of the aforementioned metals.
• these lubricants can be applied to the metal in an aqueous medium without the development of water stains on the surface of the metal. It is also possible to provide a protective hydrophobic coating on the surface of these metals, particularly aluminum metal, which is resistant to the formation of water staining and other similar forms of oxidative attack upon exposure to atmospheric conditions during shipment, storage, etc.

• the modified triglyceride used was the product of Example IIIB. Only very slight staining was visible on the treated metals whereas unprotected copper and magnesium showed moderate to heavy staining.
• Empol 1018 Dimer acid was esterified with 2 equivalents polyoxyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 400.
• the reaction was conducted at about 200° - 220° C until the acid value was approximately 5.
• 205.8 Grams (0.3 equivalent) of the resulting ester product was then combined with 288 grams (1.0 equivalent) refined soybean oil and 0.03 wt. % tetrabutyltitanate catalyst. This mixture was then reacted for about 5 hours.
• the resulting product was readily emulsifiable with water and had excellent lubrication properties.
• the neat oil showed only two units wear in the ASTM D 2670-67 Falex Test with failure occurring at 1250 pounds.
• a 5% aqueous emulsion of a 50/50 blend of this product and mineral oil gave nine units wear and did not fail up to the maximum load of 4500 pounds.
• Blends were prepared with mineral oil and the final modified triglyceride product (acid value 13.6) obtained from Example VI. Aqueous emulsions of these products were prepared and evaluated for their lubricating properties in accordance with the test procedure of Example VIII.
• the composition of the blends, the concentration of the aqueous emulsion tested and the test results obtained in the Falex test are as follows:
• a useful metal working lubricant was prepared by reacting 0.3 equivalent polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 1000, 0.3 equivalent C 36 dibasic acid and 1.0 equivalent refined soybean oil. The reaction was conducted for 5 hours at 210° C until an acid value of 21.9 was achieved.
• the modified triglyceride which was a semi-solid at room temperature had 100° F and 210° F viscosities of 154.1 and 23.9 centistokes, respectively.
• the neat oil gave only 2 units wear.
• a 5% emulsion of the mixed ester product showed only 5 units wear and did not fail up to the maximum load of 4500 pounds.
• a modified triglyceride containing 73.1 wt. % soybean oil, 21.8 wt. % dimer acid and 5.1 wt. % PEG 400 was prepared by transesterifying the components at 200°-220° C for 3 hours until an acid value of 34.8 was reached.
• the catalyst for this reaction was 0.03% dibutyltindiacetate.
• the product was emulsifiable in water, however, to enhance the emulsion stability a small amount of ethoxylated (6 E.O.) tridecyl alcohol was used in the preparation of several aqueous metal working fluids.
